About

While well-grounded in the tradition of jazz greatness, saxophonist, flutist, and vocalist Davey Yarborough represents a new generation of jazz innovators. The native Washingtonian has been a frequent performer on the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage, and his saxophone was featured in the theme song for The Cosby Show. He is also the recipient of a D.C. Mayor's Arts Award for his many local contributions, including his educational leadership at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts. Alongside his wife and frequent collaborator Esther Williams--a diverse vocalist with an extensive repertoire in jazz, R&B, pop, spiritual, and gospel--Yarborough teams up with his quartet featuring bassist Wes Biles, drummer Francis Thompson, and pianist Jon Ozment.
